Why do I continue to work at Twitter? First, some backstory… I was the technical co-founder of Pownce, a social network and early competitor to Twitter. Here’s a video of 25-year-old me talking about Pownce (ht @jdlasica and @seeMOUSErun). vimeo.com/1239783

One big reason I continue to work at Twitter is being able to work with inspiring and positive people like @leahculver! We met during our Hack Week project this year & I've been continuously motivated & inspired to think positively about the possibilities ahead for Twitter.

Normal people perceive chaos when most of the company gets fired, domain experts are begged to return, infra is shut off with no regard for importance, and the CEO makes outlandishly false claims about technology he doesn’t understand. twitter.com/jason/status/1…

I created a locked account with zero followers. I just sent one tweet. Since I have no followers and the account is locked, that tweet should not be visible to anyone. It has 12 views. Conclusion: Twitter "Views" is crap.

One nice thing you can do over Christmas is not tag a comedian in your tweet about how you think they’re awful.

If someone steals food & deodorant from CVS to survive, the media decries their release & attacks bail reform. But it’s perfectly fine for someone accused of far more harm to sit comfortably at home & await trial. This is how crime is socially constructed. Bail punishes poverty. twitter.com/phil_lewis_/st…

The API formerly known as Shared Element Transitions is now called View Transitions. Next up: the Geolocation API will henceforth be known as the Assassination Coordinates API.

It would be really amazing if Elon shipping views as a stat on every tweet resulted in advertisers realizing that they were getting scammed because impressions weren’t an accurate metric.
